Therefore, the SW18 virus test must be conducted in person on-site. It requires holding your breath and then suddenly exhaling forcefully to create a large amount of gas in the test space for a short period of time.
But now, F001 is in a coma, how can we test it?
"His body temperature has dropped even lower, to only 35.4 degrees Celsius." The nurse checked F001's temperature again, becoming increasingly anxious.
At this moment, F001 was indeed much calmer than before, and because of the previous high tension, it was now drowsy and actually fell asleep.
In conclusion, because F001 was in a coma, it was impossible to test for the SW18 virus, and his strangely low body temperature was also extremely abnormal. Therefore, he could only be isolated and treated under very special circumstances.
Despite being described as being treated in isolation, the doctors had no idea in which direction to proceed with the treatment.
However, since SW18 virus infections typically involve lesions in the lungs that gradually develop into fibrosis, doctors are closely monitoring the condition of patient F001's lungs to determine if it could be a mutation of the SW18 virus.
Of course, since it could be a mutated virus, no one knows whether the symptoms might change. Perhaps, low temperature is one of those changes.
Outside the isolation treatment room, through a fully enclosed glass window, Li Lechen's mother and Zhou Mi anxiously peered into the ward.
In the ward, Li Lechen, or rather, patient F001, had his eyes tightly closed.
Actually, low body temperature is more dangerous than high body temperature.
Since most viruses and bacteria are afraid of high temperatures, fever is a normal self-defense mechanism of the human body, which is a good thing.
Moreover, doctors are experienced in dealing with fevers and can easily lower the temperature using various methods.
However, low body temperature can occur in two ways: firstly, prolonged exposure to low temperatures, where the body loses more heat than it produces, leading to hypothermia; and secondly, severe trauma.
Hypothermia can affect the body's autonomic nervous system function and hormonal balance, as well as slow down the metabolism of capillaries, leading to poor blood circulation and damage to various organs.
However, although it is already winter in Lingcheng, the lowest outdoor temperature is still around ten degrees Celsius. Unless you hide in a freezer, the possibility of frostbite is very small.
As for serious external injuries, doctors aren't blind, and besides, after a comprehensive examination, there were none!
Therefore, the exact cause of the low temperature is still unclear.
Here, in the isolation treatment room, the nurses could only give F001 a regular IV drip while raising the room temperature and covering him up tightly. Over there, the attending physician was questioning Li Lechen's mother and Zhou Mi, the first person to discover him unconscious.
Zhou Mi's account was the same one she had previously shared with F001, so she stated: "After my aunt left, I was watching TV in the living room. Later, my cousin came out to the kitchen to find some fruit and asked me what I wanted to eat. So I went to the kitchen to cut the cantaloupe for him. After I finished cutting the fruit and brought it back to the living room, before we even started eating, he suddenly fainted."
This statement is basically true, only some details have been omitted, so Zhou Mi, who never lies, said it without any pressure.
Hami melon.....
The doctor extracted the key elements from that statement.
The reason why a person gets sick is not only because of a past medical history, but also because of some triggering factors, the most direct being what they did or what they ate.
Now, there's something special to eat: cantaloupe.
Of course, cantaloupes are generally fine, and even in special circumstances, they are only minor issues.
For example, cantaloupe and bananas should not be eaten together, as this can lead to mild kidney failure. They should also not be eaten with beef, crab, or beer, as these can all cause diarrhea, though not severe.
"So what did you have for dinner?" the doctor asked again.
So Li Lechen's mother recalled what they had for dinner. There was no crab or beef in it, but there was a little cooking wine, which absolutely would not have any adverse effects.
In other words, there is no problem with the cantaloupe.
Has the patient taken any special medications recently?
The doctor asked this question mainly because Li Lechen had a lump in his brain before, and the hospital prescribed some corresponding conservative treatment drugs. It's hard to say what would happen with the drugs. If he took other drugs and they reacted, it's not impossible that he would have developed the hypothermia symptoms he has now.
Li Lechen's mother racked her brains for a long time, but finally shook her head blankly.
So this lead has also gone cold.
In fact, he didn't take any of the medications prescribed by the hospital. He knew very well that the thing in his head was actually a memory package containing his memories from the past few hundred years, not a lump or a tumor. All medicines have side effects, and the more expensive the medicine, the greater the side effects. Even if it were a real tumor, it wouldn't be very effective, let alone something that wasn't.
So those medicines are ridiculously expensive, but they're flushed down the toilet.
It's just that doctors couldn't possibly know.
But now there's another piece of news that will surprise Li Lechen's mother.
"What?! The lump has disappeared?!"
Li Lechen's mother screamed and shook her head repeatedly.
How is that possible?
Not to mention that Li Lechen had been in a coma for two months just a month ago and had only just woken up, he had also been in a coma in Fancheng two weeks ago. At that time, he had also undergone a full-body examination, and the lump in his head had not changed at all.
Fortunately, he woke up quickly, otherwise Li Lechen's mother would have considered taking the more risky path of surgery.
The doctor was also puzzled by this.
